Ban On Twitter In Andhra Pradesh?

A ban on using the micro blogging site Twitter seems inevitable in Andhra Pradesh following a directive from Central Government. And, the breakers of this rule by any means might face court case and even end up in jail.

According to the findings of intelligence bureau, Assam violence is provoked and spread by twitter messages that were posted by people in Southern states. The finding revealed that anti-elements are operating heavily in these states including Andhra Pradesh. Central government is now giving a thought to ban twitter in these 8 states including AP, to stop further activities of terror cells and anti-social elements that are using social networks to provoke innocents.

This might come as a rude shock to our celebrities who are depending a lot on twitter to interact with their fans and revealing about various projects

Aravind's Confidence On Priya's Dominance

This top producer is not in the news these days as he is not either producing or distributing any movie in Tollywood. Allu Aravind, the ace producer of Telugu industry is the man we are talking about and let us have a glance at his confidence.

Allu Aravind is back into movies after taking rest for a while and his comeback is as a distributor. The producer has launched 'Geetha Film Distribution' in a new style with new logo and his latest venture is Priyamani's 'Charulatha'. A look by the trailers has in it, Priyamani excelling once again both as a performer and glamorous heroine. With this dusky siren dominating the complete show in Charulatha, stunning graphics that simulated natural feel of conjoined twins are adding extra advantage. Maybe this is the reason for Allu Aravind having high confidence on this flick and planning to release this movie in record number of theatres.

Allu Aravind will not choose any venture in general, such easily, either to producer or distribute. The mega producers presence might give Priyamani the required boost for her dull career in Telugu industry.

Why didn't I have Affair with Ileana?: Star Hero

Seems like, Bollywood heartthrob Ranbir Kapoor is fed up with the constant link-up rumors surfacing in the media about him. He expressed his anguish on the media which gave him the casanova tag by linking with almost all co-stars he has worked with till date.

When the media persons quizzed him about his equation with his film Barfi co-star during the promotional campaign, Ranbir shot back,"If you ask me about my experience working with my film's director Anurag Basu, then I will treat you with respect. But if you ask me 'why I didn't have an affair with Ileana?, then you will lose respect".

Ranbir's reaction shocked the media as they hadn't expected it and even the actor hadn't behaved in such fashion before. In fact, Ileana was one of the very few actresses who weren't linked to this charming actor even after working together for a film.

Barfi which is scheduled for September 14 release caught the attention movie lovers ever since the promos were released. While Ranbir plays deaf and dum, Priyanka Chopra as mentally challenged and Ileana will be seen as the love interest of the protagonist.

'CGR' Overseas Record Business

Power Star pawan kalyan has proved his power at the Overseas box office through his recent blockbuster hit 'Gabbar Singh'. And now, he is proving his pre release business stamina of 'Cameraman Gangatho Rambabu' in this area. The latest we heard is that the producer of the movie CGR, has sold out the movie's rights for a record price of Rs.1.3 crores( $260K) for just 13 centers only in US. Since the movie is going to be released in more than 60 centers in US alone, definitely the film's business is expected to cross all the previous business records with a huge margin.  Milky beauty Tamannah is pairing up with pawan kalyan in this movie. The movie is touted to be a satirical mass entertainer. Manisharma is scoring the music of this film.

Today Balakrishna, Tomorrow...?

What could be the situation, if the treatment given to ‘Srimannarayana’ is repeated for any other star heroes films coming in near future. One should obviously agree that, there will always be shortage of theatres during the festive or holiday seasons with a bunch of big films booking their own required number of screens. When a big hero like balakrishna finds no value in the market with theatres in Andhra Pradesh under the hold of very few men, what is the guarantee that same will not be repeated for any other big hero? A solution for this kind of severe issues will be found only when these leased theatres in the hands of few distributors will go back to Exhibitors. While big heads like Dasari, Tammareddy and others are working towards such permanent solution, Fans of Big Heroes should maintain cool headedness.

Balayya Not a Small Hero

Natasimham Nandamuri balakrishna's 'Srimannarayana' movie ran for just one week in Arjun theater of Kukatpalli and was replaced by King Nagarjuna's devotional flick 'Shirdi Sai'. Leaving a big shock to everyone, the producer and the director of the movie staged a dharna in front of the theater protesting not to lift their movie from the theater. Balayya's fans also joined this agitation. The producer of this movie stated that their is a small budget movie and it has to get justice. Later, the producer also met the supporter of small budget films, Tammareddy Bharadwaj.  Having heard of this news on SMN, some of the senior fans of Balayya are criticizing the makers of the movie. As per them, the makers have rights to go for  any kind of agitation for the screening of their movie, but they shouldn't have mentioned theirs is a small budget film, as it senses that Balayya is a small hero but not a star hero. Hope, the makers understand their feelings.

To add more josh among his fans, pawan kalyan is going to appear in Radio Mirchi studiom as a Radio Jockey.  His fans can call and talk with him during a special talk show in 98.3 FM, on 2nd September, between 2 and 5 pm.

Universal Media is the production house of the movie. The audio of the movie will be released on 15th September while the movie is slated for 11th October release.

Charan Effect: Nandi Committee Changed

Not many days back, Ramcharan is denied a best actor Nandi Award irrespective of his hair rising performance in 'Magadheera'. The criticism faced by Nandi Awards Committee that time has finally opened the eyes of government. His issue has now changed the way members are taken and this is irking few people in Tollywood.
 
All the time, we have seen lot of followers of some coteries being the major chunk of this Awards Committee. However, AP State Film, TV and Theatre Development Corporation (APSFTVTDC) has now reduced the size of committee from 18 to 13 and made sure that there are no people on board who are served for 3 times already. It comprises of writers, lyricists, producers, journalists, lecturers, directors and social workers. Reports have that many producers and directors are lobbying high to get a chance in the committee, as their representation is very low this time.
 
Surprisingly the awards committee is headed this time by a cinematographer, S Gopal Reddy, unlike a producer or director all these years. "We have introduced new criteria from this year in appointing members to the committee," managing director of the corporation R V Chandravadan said.
 
Big wigs who are trying to manage the awards all the time are dumbstruck with the decision of government. So let us expect some transparent awards at least this time and wish there will be no unlucky persons like Ramcharan who missed an appreciation for a genuine performance.
 
While S Gopal Reddy is the chairman, other members are: Dr Ampasayya Naveen, Prof K Anandan, K Basi Reddy, Karunakar Gopini, Man Mohan Reddy, Mohan Goteti, Dr Raasani V R, Ramani Balabhadrapatruni, Shailendra Kumari Duvvuri, Sridhar Allani, Goreti Venkanna and R V Chandravadan as the member/convener.

Chiru's Clarity on Those Two Issues

Megastar and M.P.of Rajyasabha Mr.chiranjeevi celebrated his birthday on 22nd August in New Delhi. In connections with this, he has given mini interviews to T.V.channels. Interestingly, he has almost given a clarity on two burning issues about him. Check out the details of those two issues. * ABOUT HIS POLITICAL FUTURE: Chiru made it clear that many of his fans and followers are wishing that he would be the future C.M.of A.P. Although, he said that there would not be any replacement of C.M.Kiran right now, it was clearly evident that Chiru is targeting only C.M.post but not any other post. With this, political analysts also might get the clarity on why Chiru hasn't been the Central Minister so far.  ABOUT DOING 150TH MOVIE: Chiru said that he would do 150th movie, only when he gets a very good subject to do. Otherwise he would not act in movies. In other words, he indirectly revealed that he would not do any movie. If that is the case, some of his fans might be disappointed. To avoid their agony, Chiru hinted that he would be the future C.M., so that his fans would get satisfaction.  BOTTOM-LINE: Having watched the interviews of Chiru in T.V.channels, many analysts are expressing their opinion that Chiru has got tremendous political knowledge and the skills which are needed to become a good politician. On the other hand, as per the aired news, it is known that the Congress Party will take on the election battle in 2014, under the captaincy of chiranjeevi only, but not anybody else

Mallu Arjun's 'Gaja Pokiri' Super Hit

Stylish Star Allu Arjun's 'Gaja Pokkiri', the Malayalam version of 'Julayi', hit the screens of Kerala state on 18th August in good number of prints. The movie has received good openings in the entire state with a positive talk. The buyers of 'Gaja Pokkiri' are fortunate enough as the highly anticipated movie of Lalettan's 'Run Baby Run' has been postponed to keep a safe distance from 'Gaja Pokkiri'. Mallu Arjun's fans are cheering up for the graceful dances, elegant dresses and spectacular fights of their favourite hero.  Sexy and sizzling hottie Ileana has paired up with Allu Arjun in this movie. Dr.Rajendra Prasad played a hilarious role in the film. Sonu Sood did the main villain. Devi Sri Prasad composed rocking tunes for the movie. The movie was directed by ace director Trivikram while it was produced by Radhakrishna on Harika and Hassine Creations.

Now, Pawan started directing Puri

Director Puri Jagannath could have definitely expected his ‘Devudu Chesina Manushulu’ to score a minimum average at BO. But, the result has been completely dismal with critics shunting the film for poor screenplay and lack of Puri’s trademark treatment. For what ever the reasons, Puri Jagan is most popularized for punch dialogues and powerful narration of scenes which Fans of top heroes like the most. The shocking result of ‘DCM’ is known to have finally forced pawan kalyan to finger in the making of ‘Camerman Ganga Tho Ram Babu.’ Insiders are murmuring that, Pawan asked Puri to re-check the entire footage shot till now before taking the film on to final editing table. Even, a disturbed Puri did not want to take any chances of losing his complete reputation has accepted to work with Pawan’s directions from now on. In a pressure cooker situation, Puri and Pawan are jointly monitoring the quality of shots. Wish that ‘CMGR’ will come out as best product ever seen in Tollywood from this rare combination who earlier gave a super hit 'Badri.'

Bunny Surpasses Jr.NTR

stylish star allu arjun's 'Julayi' movie is getting very good collections at the box office. The movie has collected a share of Rs. 28.09 crores at the end of its first week run. As per the current trends, the trade sources are expecting that the movie will cross the mark of Rs.40 crores share quite easily at the box office in its full run. Interesting thing is that earlier, Pawan Kalyan, Ram Charan and Mahesh Babu crossed Rs.40 crores share through their movies such as 'Gabbar Singh', 'Magadheera', 'Rachcha' and 'Dookudu'. Rajamouli's  'Eega' has also crossed this share without having a hero in it, including all the versions of the movie. However, Jr. NTR's highest grosser 'Dammu' has collected a share of Rs.34 crores at the end of its full run. So, it is said that Allu Arjun surpassed Jr.NTR through his 'Julayi' at least for some time until Jr. NTR gives a blockbuster hit through his forthcoming 'Baadshah' movie.  Sexy actress Ileana has paired up with Bunny in this movie. Rajendra Prasad played a hilarious role in the movie while Sonu Sood did the antagonist. The music has been rendered by Devi Sri Prasad. Ace director Trivikram directed this movie. Radhakrishna produced this movie under Haarika and Hassine Creations.

Cherry throws challenge to NTR!

With in few days after Junior NTR’s producer Bandla Ganesh Babu announcing the release date of his ‘Baadshah’ as January 11 that is for Sankranti, now we have Mega Power Star too getting himself ready to enter into battle field with ‘Nayak.’ Although unofficial, we are reported that ‘Nayak’ directed by VV Vinayak will also be one of the tough contenders in Pongal race.  Of course, it is too early to estimate the strengths of ‘Baadshah’ and ‘Nayak’ which are purely based on machismo of these two young heroes. However, when seen from director’s point of view, Vinayak is surely on back foot compared to Srinu Vytla’s winning spirits of ‘Dookudu.’ So, the first two positions for Sankranti are full. Now, it is time for other heroes to announce their release dates. This is the most favorable period for which producers wait throughout the year.

Chiru's 'Indra' Still Unbeaten There

Can you believe that megastar chiranjeevi's 'Indra' is still holding the record of town highest share record in one of the towns of the state? Since the movie released ten years ago, it is hard to imagine that its collections could not be broken by any other movie. However, the unbelievable took place and the town where 'Indra's record safe was 'Tuni', which belongs to East Godavari area. Going by the details, the movie was released on 24th July, 2002 and ran 175 days in Tuni and collected a share of Rs.18 lakhs. No movie of  tollywood has crossed this share mark including 'Magadheera' in this town.  Interestingly, there is one more town in the state where 'Indra' occupied number two position even today and the town is 'Mandapeta'. In  'Mandapeta', 'Magadheera' collected a share of Rs.21 lakhs whereas, 'Indra' collected a share of Rs.19 lakhs. No movie has touched the shares of these two movies till now. Hope, forthcoming big projects will break these records.

Two More Mega Celebrations Coming

Entire Telugu Cinema Industry and general cinema lovers too are in praise of Mega family for offering superb hits at a crucial time when Tollywood was going through a slump. 2012, a year known for End of the World has in fact ended our Tollywood’s declining phase with three big hits coming from one Mega family. Well, ‘Rachcha’ of ramcharan followed by Pawan Kalyan’s ‘Gabbar Singh’ and Allu Arjun’s ‘Julaayi’ are the three which everyone has unanimously agreed to be big hits. Not to stop here, the coming year ahead also looks promising because ramcharan, VV Vinayak’s combination ‘Nayak’ and Pawan Kalyan, Puri Jagannath’s ‘Cameraman Ganag Tho Ram Babu’ are gathering positive talk. So, there are two more Mega Celebrations to join the list and moods of Mega Fans can go still high cheering their heroes.

'Pawan Hates All These Collection Dramas'

Finally, producer Ganesh has cleared the air regarding the real reasons behind the secrecy of 'Gabbar Singh' collections. With GS finishing 100 days yesterday, here comes a word from the producer's mouth about collections and so. 

'Many people feel that this film hasn't collected much, but I don't care. Pawan Kalyan hates all these collection dramas and he asked to me not to reveal any numbers', says Bandla Ganesh, producer of blockbuster 'Gabbar Singh'. He added that making movie with Pawan itself is a big achievement and there is no need to depend on collections and fake-records. 

Coming to 100 days function, Ganesh says that if Pawan is busy and okay with it, he is ready for that. Mega fans are waiting for the big-events of both 'Racha' and 'Gabbar Singh' 100 days functions from a time and just one 'rain' could fulfil their drought. 

Congratulations to team 'Gabbar Singh' for successful 100 days in 65 centres.

Julayi enters All Time Top 5

The first week collections of 'Julayi' are phenomenal making it the highest in Allu Arjun's career. In India alone, the film has collected a gross of Rs 38 crores and share of Rs 24 crores. Taking $1 million at Overseas into account, the worldwide gross of the film is around Rs 44 crore.

With these earth shattering figures, Julayi entered into the All Time Top 5 openings in Tollywood. The Malayalam version of the film (Gaja Pokkiri) is releasing a week later (on August 17), else the figures would have been much higher. 

The collections were very impressive in the second week as well. With Ramzan season coming to an end on 20th of this month, the strong run of Julayi is expected at least for the next few weeks. Let's see if this films enters into the All Time Top 5 grossers list or not!
